Summertime in the Midwest is full of some of my favorite traditions! Lake time, ice cream, watermelon, lighting bugs, and fresh strawberries. I love to make simple recipes with fresh ingredients to add to the Midwest summer memories. These are always a huge hit and disappear quickly.

I have pastry bags on hand and I always like to find a reason to use them and feel like a fancy chef. I also have a bunch of disposable pastry bags that I actually use way more. I just fill them and cut off the tip, then toss when done.
No pastry bag? No biggie. Grab a Ziplock bag, fill it up with the cream cheese mixture and cut off the top. Fill the strawberries, done.
